I heard Tori Amos' cover of Angie on the radio last night, and haven't been able to get it out of my head since.

If only Wash were a magical zombie like Jesus. I miss him. Now who will pilot my spaceship?"Life IS pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."Alex Trebek: Oh good. Mr. Connery wants to say something.Sean Connery: I've thought of some more foreign ladies I snogged.

Or you could just go to unhearit. Keep in mind, some of the songs there are even worse, so try it at your own risk.

That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and Americans. A European says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with me?" An American says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with him? - Sir Terry Pratchett

The great thing about Beaker is his ability to provoke while still being decorous, or at least within acceptable rules of conduct - Qwertyuiopasd

In my experience, singing a few bars or verses of "Paint It, Black" by the Rolling Stones will knock out any other song that is haunting you. For some reason, "Paint It, Black" itself seems to refuse to stay in mind, thus freeing the user from any earworm state for the time being. I have never known it to fail, and I have suggested it to many people on many occasions since I discovered this eery dynamic. It always seems to work.

Good luck with yours.

In case you didn't realize it, I DO have a sense of humor. How about you?"I will not fear. Fear is the mind-killer... I will face my fear. I will let it pass over and through me, and when it has gone, only I will remain." --The Bene Gesserit"Time is a spiral. Space is a curve. I know you get dizzy, but try not to lose your nerve." -- Neil Peart"I'm not in the ship. I am the ship." -- River Tam"The truth is simple. It's the lies that get complicated." -- me"No matter where you go, there you are." --Buckaroo Banzai

I wouldn't say that. I had this phase in middle school where I'd managed to piss off all of my pitifully few friends, and "Paint it black" was the ONLY SONG that would be in my head for any substantial amount of time during this period.

If I have learnt anything, it is that life forms no logical patterns. It is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return?Margot Fonteyn

Still having twitching flashbacks to Saturday night, playing bass at a gig with Helen and Fran, two left-handed guitarists. It's hard enough 'reading' a leftie, but Helen plays a left-handed guitar, and Fran plays a right-handed guitar upside-down (top E at the top of the guitar, bottom E at the bottom, all chord shapes upside-down).

But it gets worse. We were playing a cover of Nanci Griffiths' Is This All There Is?. I was playing the song on open strings in Emaj, Fran was playing in Dmaj with a capo on the second fret, and Helen was playing in Cmaj with a capo on the fourth fret.

We were all a bit rusty, so I usually shout chords to people (I never forget a song. I can't remember what day of the week it is, but I never forget a song). Except, I had to transpose what I was playing up a tone for Fran, and up a fourth for Helen: "C, Helen! Not you Fran, you're in D!", whilst I am trying to riff on E. So I am shouting "Helen! F, Dmin, C! Fran! G, Emin, D!" while I am trying to play A, F#min, E.

Funnily enough, we made it without a dropped note. Then we moved on to Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris' Juanita, in Ab, with a key change up to Bb. Ab is not a key to a bass player, it's a punishment. What did I do wrong, oh FSM? What did I do wrong?

It was true for the IRA and it's true now." ~ daftbeaker.

The last night of my cruise I got drunk and sang Africa at karaoke. It's now three days later, and the song is still bouncing around between my ears.

"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

"To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection." - Henri Poincaré
